Ladies and Gentlemen,
Just to set the record straight. Reading electronic mail cannot erase your
hard drive. A virus has to have some sort of executable file (such as *.bat,
*.exe, etc.). The key to virus safety is...don't download files from people
you don't know/trust and have a good virus checker on your computer. Those of
us in the Air Force have the option of utilizing McAfee and Norton Anti-Virus
at home and should.
